Why it was recalled
Labeling: Label Error on Declared Strength. Overwrap labeled as Potassium Chloride Inj 10 mEq may contain flexible containers of Potassium Chloride Inj 20 mEq
Labelling, packaging or a product mix-up
The wrong information — or the wrong medicine — ended up in the pack. A mix-up is a manufacturing failure that can still be dangerous to swallow.
This is a manufacturing or quality failure, not a finding that the medicine is unsafe to take — across every recall we hold, none was issued for that reason. It does not mean the batch was harmless.
